Gain proof of mastery in lighting, posing, composition, and more.
Join the only certification

Learn from the best to be your best.
You don’t have to DIY your way to success.
We DIY solutions, watch free tutorials, and hustle every day to better our craft.
But sometimes, it’s just not enough.
Being self-taught brings up feelings of doubts, comparison, and imposter syndrome. You never feel good enough, so you charge less than you’re worth, work yourself to the bone, or give up altogether.
That’s why I created the Sandra Coan Certification. To give talented photographers the skills they need to succeed and provide them with proof of mastery.
Get certified. Be confident.
The photography industry is full of kick-ass self-taught photographers.
Certification matters.
At the end, you’ll be a Sandra Coan–Certified photographer, and will be featured on our official list of certified photographers.
